Setting the RIP Mode
You can select a RIP mode that is appropriate for your network. RIP can
operate in any of three modes:
■Off — The switching module ignores all incoming RIP packets and does not
generate any RIP packets of its own.
■Passive — The switching module processes all incoming RIP packets and
responds to explicit requests for routing information, but does not
broadcast periodic or triggered RIP updates.
■Active — The switching module processes all incoming RIP packets,
responds to explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts
periodic and triggered RIP updates.
RIP default mode By default, RIP operates in passive mode.
To set the RIP operating mode:
1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip rip
2Enter the slot(s) of the switching module(s) for which you want to set the
RIP mode. Separate non-consecutive slots with commas (,). Enter a
consecutive series of slots using a dash (-).
